I dont think Steve is saying much. With a good supporting cast and coach almost any servicable QB can win a Superbowl. With that said, I think at best Alex will be solid to good, but I think he has almost zero chance of being dominant.

What the (expletive)?

I don't want to have to explain. I'll just say he's an idiot.

It goes back to him and Joe. I don't like the way he handled the whole thing. Ever since then, I never like the guy. Is that a good enough explanation for you?

Ralph: "Can you envision Alex Smith holding the Lombardi trophy?"

Young: "I can... This is why I say this, I was coached by people who didn't understand offense and didn't teach it in a way that was really helpful to the quarterback... and you really don't have a chance... He's been dealing with people for 4-5 years that look at the quarterback position as just another place, just another guy and that is the worst way to ever get anything out of your quarterback."

One of the things I've seen with Alex is that when he's been put in bad position with down and distance, (there weren't) many guys he could throw to without throwing 30 yards. There were times I looked and it's 3rd-and-18 and now he's got four guys going 20 to 30 yards downfield, so what do you want him to do? He's either got to throw it into traffic or take a sack or throw it away, so none of them are very good options.

the funny thing is, when Rice berates Smith, Rice is an old bitter retiree who knows nothing about football other than how to play the WR position. When Young gives Smith adulation, he is a savvy football analyst with shrewd insight. The Rice thread is locked, I'm guessing this one won't be. lol.
